What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, it is a crime to bring a prohibited object into a jail or prison

with the intent to deliver the object to another person, or to transport a prohibited

item out of a jail or prison. Under the bill, it is also a crime to bring a prohibited object

into a jail or prison with intent to keep the object for oneself.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report.
